DESIGN STUDIO I – ANDREA DEBILIO
My proposal consists in a visionary project born to improve the existing layout of the neighborhood through a self-sufficient grid over the existing one.
After having analyzed the public spaces and their connections within the neighborhood through the study of density in relation to a 10-minute walk from each point, I have created a new shape developed along a path that would combine the hot spots (camp nou, Sants Station, a big commercial center and the two ramblas) maximising the use of
the space around the nodes.
The new highline integrates technologies able to recycle waste and stormwater and create new green areas.
Each hole of the structure has been identified combining parametric design software and an Ecotect solar access analysis: their functions
(water, green, solar panels, Texlon pneumatic cushions) are the result.
Through the extensive use of the latest energy saving techniques and new metamaterials it can produce energy and share it with the buildings around.

The analysis: is focused in the behavior of the wind between the buildings, in order to implement the results in an efficient way, trying to collect as much energy as possible. Complemented with the energy analysis consumption of each building to find their needs.

Proposal: since in an urban area as dense as Barcelona, we get turbulence or slow speed wind between buildings. We want to generate a skin or structure that can be added to the facades of the buildings or urban equipment that not only will function as a wind collector, but also will have a functionality depending on where you place it.
